The House of Representatives unanimously voted to establish a bipartisan commission to investigate the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
No lawmakers voted “no” nor “present,” and 416 voted “yes.” Ten Democrats and six Republicans did not vote on Wednesday.
The task force will be comprised of seven Republicans and six Democrats, with the members likely being announced this week.
“The security failures that allowed an assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life are shocking. In response to bipartisan demands for answers, we are announcing a House Task Force made up of seven Republicans and six Democrats to thoroughly investigate the matter,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in a joint statement on Tuesday. “The task force will be empowered with subpoena authority and will move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability, and make certain such failures never happen again.”
The resolution was led by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) whose district the shooting took place in and who was in attendance but unharmed.
One attendee died, and two others were injured, and Trump was shot in the ear and evacuated off the stage by the Secret Service.
